Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Jellyfin is nowhere near the better option, it’s just a not-terrible dev.

Plex is refined and easy to get external users not familiar with tech up and running. Plex looks better. Plex transcodes better.

No hate for Jellyfin, just calling it how I see it.

Similarly, I feel the same way about Jellyfin but Plex is making it really hard to be a Lifetime Pass member as well.

Agree, they’re making all the wrong moves lately
